The city hall consists of two building volumes. The inner building stands out as a golden crystalline heart, inspired by the area’s significant deposits of iron ore.
As a floating sphere, the outer building surrounds the crystal, optimizing the intake of daylight by 17 % compared to a square building volume.
The new city hall makes reference to the historical hall by incorporating its bell tower as well as selected materials and building components.
In addition to citizen services, offices, meeting rooms, and council chamber, the building comprises exhibition facilities for local Sami art.
